My Policies

I am currently not accepting review requests. I am very busy, and I have way too many books to read and review at the moment. Thank you for understanding. :)

Hopefully I can open this back up very soon!***

As of July 10th, 2014, I'm implementing a "for review consideration" policy. This means that I willnot guarantee a review. I'll try to the best of my ability to review the book, but I make no promises of when it will be done or of finishing it.If you request a review, please remember that I won't always accept it. If I know that I'm not going to enjoy it, I won't read it. It's not personal. And if I do accept a book for review, I will not share it with anyone. I will be extremely honest in my reviewing. However, if I'd give the review 3 stars or below, I'll suggest a spotlight post. Even if I didn't like the book, it doesn't mean that everybody won't either. And I appreciate you taking the time to send me an email. But please be patient with me when you're waiting for the review. Life priorities come first!I will always post my reviews on Goodreads and my blog, even if I didn't like it. If you ask me not to, I won't post negative reviews on buy sites (like Amazon and B&N). Even I do a spotlight post instead, I'll publish a review later on. Even it's negative, I reserve to right to post on GR and my blog.

I will accept ARCs, print books, and e-books (as long as they are compatible with a Kindle).

I mostly review YA and NA novels, although I do love adult books as well. Favorite genres include:

-Fantasy/Sci Fi

-Contemporary Romance

-Dystopian

-Mystery

-Suspense/Thrillers

-Teens/YA

-New Adult

-Mythology

-Fairytale Retellings -Paranormal

Please include in your email:

Author name. Tell me a little bit about yourself, even.

Book name and link. Preferably, the Goodreads link.

Give me some information about the book. That includes if it's a series or standalone and the release date.

Give me a deadline to review the book (usually this is just for the authors who would like the reviews done before the release date). Note that I will change this if it does not work for me, and I make no promises for how long it takes to review the book!

Interviews, promotional posts, and giveaways are optional but encouraged.

Rating System!

I do not have a set rating system. Once I redesign my blog and make it my own, I will also have a rating system. That doesn't mean my reviews aren't efficient. I write what I feel when I'm feeling it. But they aren't sloppy or disorganized. I will talk about the characters, part of the plot (I do not summarize), the writing (I'm a grammar Nazi, so be forewarned; I can be pretty harsh when it comes to mistakes), and any other bits of information I feel are important for readers. :) I also use quotes and coarse language sometimes. Tentative rating system, starting with 1 star:1 star: I didn't like the book at all. 1.5 stars: There was at least one thing I liked.2 stars: It was just okay and nothing special.2.5 stars: It was enjoyable, but had a lot of bad points.3 stars: I liked it, but I didn't love it.3.5 stars: It was good; I really liked the book.4 stars: I loved it, but it was missing something.4.5 stars: It was amazing, almost perfect.5 stars: It was perfect and an all-time favorite.

***Giveaway Policy!

I got tired of doing a rules section every time I did a giveaway, so this is my set-in-stone policy!

You must be 15 years or older to enter any of my giveaways.

They are always US only, unless otherwise stated.

NO CHEATING! If you cheat, all of your entries will be deleted! And trust me, I check every single one of them.

All winners are chosen randomly through Rafflecopter.

Any information you provide me for prizes, be it email or home address, WILL NEVER be shared with anyone (it will be deleted after I am ensured you received the prize). I will protect your privacy with my life!

If you don't respond to my email within the allotted timeframe (usually 72 hours, unless otherwise stated), a new winner will be chosen.

These books are either paid for out of my pocket or are provided by the author/publisher, so don't ask for something different (this has never happened to me, but I know it needs to be said).

I am not responsible for lost and/or damaged packages in the mail.

***Thanks for checking out The Fox's Hideaway! <3 <3DISCLAIMER: In accordance with the FTC Guidelines, the books I review are either purchased by myself, received as a gift, borrowed from a library, or sent from the author/publisher. I don't take payment for the reviews. All opinions are my own and how I received the book does not affect it in one way or the other.

hi, hello, welcome!

I'm Holly, the blogger behind The Fox's Hideaway. I love to read, write, play video games, and Netflix. I spend way too much time binge-watching TV shows I never finish, procrastinating life, and disappearing into the pages of a book for hours on end. I started this blog as a way to give myself a creative outlet for writing and talk books with people who "get" it. And it's since become one of the biggest passions I have, and it humbles me that you're here and reading this short little paragraph right now. I hope you'll stick around as I rant and rave and stumble through adulthood. :D
